Meteorology for wind energy

A one day course for industry professionals who wish to acquire a comprehensive overview of the subject and have the meteorological basics, weather systems, and atmospheric modelling clearly explained. Wind power meteorology, the atmospheric structure and scales are also covered.

Course background
The course offers an introduction to the weather related phenomena that affect a wind farm. This will cover the most important aspects of meteorology and wind power meteorology, including local effects, variations on different scales, “strange animals in the micro-scale zoo” like complex terrain, forestry, wind profiles, and thermally-driven winds. We will also cover a description of the atmospheric circulation, the structure of the atmosphere, and its various scales; typical large systems as the low pressure system, monsoons and hurricanes are described; and modelling of the atmosphere will be discussed. A question and answer session will close the day.

Who should attend?
Wind resource analysts, project managers, developers, civil and structural designers, lenders, turbine designers and other professionals who wish to benefit from DNV GL’s technical and commercial knowledge of the meteorological aspects of wind power developments. DNV GL assumes that attendees will have a technical background, but no specific meteorological knowledge is required.
